Intercede and Microsoft Join Forces to Streamline FIDO Passkey Management for the Enterprise
We’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Microsoft and Intercede that will bring cutting-edge FIDO Passkey provisioning to the Enterprise.
This collaboration combines Intercede’s expertise in Credential Management Systems with Microsoft Entra ID to allow administrators to create and register FIDO Passkeys on behalf of users on devices such as the Yubikey Family of Devices or Smart Phones. This development allows FIDO Passkeys to be managed in a similar way to PKI based devices through MyID CMS and then passed to Microsoft Entra ID for use during user authentication.
“Microsoft is committed to realizing the full promise of passkeys to help accelerate adoption within enterprise organizations. Our new FIDO2 provisioning APIs, and our collaboration with leading vendors like Intercede, represent a big step forward in helping organizations create fast, easy and secure authentication journeys from day one,” said Natee Pretikul, Principal Product Management Lead at Microsoft Security.
“A number of our customers have been looking to bring FIDO passkeys into their authentication solutions due to the phishing-resistant nature of the technology and the ability to use them across multiple platforms, including mobile. Until now, the lack of ability to integrate credential management systems with Entra ID for passkeys has been a barrier to adoption. I am delighted that by working with Microsoft this barrier has now been removed and organisations can benefit from stronger, managed authentication.” added Allen Storey, CPO at Intercede.
What’s Next: We’re moving quickly to bring this partnership to life. A first version of the implementation will be ready for demonstration within the next two weeks. Full availability of the provisioning api will be included in the next release of MyID CMS v12.12.
